All the associates are natural persons and there are no employees.The meetings are convened twice a year with the participation of a good percentage of associates (more than 250).The Board of Directors is composed of seven people, all associated. In the past they also had external members (teachers of economics and business, municipal officers, etc..). For the period 2012-2014 they have decided not to include external people in the social structure.The cooperative is structured in product areas (developmental age, multi-culture, disability, mental health, health related to elderly people, "nel cuore dell'ospitalità" (in the heart of hospitality)) and process areas (administrative, human resource management and development & communication). The management team is composed of all the six Product Area Directors and the 3 Process Area Directors.
